References:

From Schreiners Iris catalog, 1935: ELECTRA (J. Sass-Schreiner '35). Has large flowers of excellent substance, addressed standards and semi-flaring falls. The standards are plicated with a blue margin and dotted; the falls are also pronouncedly veined with markings changing to gold along the beard; this coupled with a prominent gold beard mark it as a very unique plicata. The growth is fine, perfectly hardy and as large as other good plicatas. $10.00.
From Iris City Gardens catalog, 1940: A plicata that, for its floriferousness, its ability to increase, and its hardiness, we strongly recommend. The large full standards are white, splashed with blue; the white flaring falls are button-holed with blue and have a few chestnut venations at the haft. Schreiner's 1935.
Reported catalog references*: Schreiner 1935; Hillcrest 1938; Wassenberg 1938. Iris City 1940.
